hey,the last month i had to spend some time for my s14 silvia and also for my k10 micra to get a new driving permission for the next 2 years.some swiss rules by the way!!

well,the welding jobs on the drivers side are almost done,and there is no more rust yet.i hope i can finish also the other side till august,and put the car on wheels/suspension till october because i will move my workshop!

hahaha:-)yes almost,there is also a 1982mini from a friend to restore in there. now there is no more place for my s14 as well as my next project an fc3s and its a bit too far from my home(driving 25min. one way)its not easy to find workshops in our area but now i did!!and i hope i will find more place for the datsun parts!!and i also hope i will find more datsun parts:-)cheers

Hi Stev,see what the postal guy brought me today? A set of genuine JDM Laurel C30 taillights just for you

They'll need a bit of cleaning and surface-rework but otherwise they look great. will be absolutely gangster to rock this on your Car They're so much cooler then genuine EUDM Datsun 1800 tailliights - will ship 'em out to you on tuestday. ok?

nice stuff, mate! where did you get the manuals from?Are those whiteline springs? Did they come with CH-certificate?Still haven't decided what type of springs i should go for. seems like so far only eibach by petitjean would be avialeble with CH-certificate.

hey nils,i was contacting a while ago one of the biggest datsun heads in switzerland i think.he s living not far from me and i went there to sell him some of my datsun catalogues.finally i've bought the car manual,2 brandnew corner light (nos),shift boot(very rare) and had great dissussions with him.he got a lot of parts for a lot of datsun models.i will give you the contact if you want.he also have a 240Z in condition 1 awesome car and a lot of z parts as well the other stuff i've bought on ebay a while ago.

Great to see a 1800L beeing rescued. Used to own one , must be 25 years ago now.. Had it for 5 years - 200000 kms.

Was my first car so took a beating - even had it on the side a couple of times but was never long before it was fit for fight again.

Bulletproof engine and gearbox (was a bit dangerous for passangers kneecaps when aiming for reverse tho) . Killed 3 diffs so not its strongest point.I had a pair of su carbs on for a while and have seen twin weber sidedrafts somanifolds exist. Dont know if aftermarket or oem.

Never understood why datsun downgraded to the L engines when they had the G.180B sss were weak compared to these

Was a great car. Mine was set upp with a stiff front end and soft rear. Handeled well.Good luck with project. Cheers

i was in australia for 1 month and had a really good time with a lot of carwatching,sightseeing shopping and chilling of course.absolutly awesome country!!i'd like to show you some pics.i also had a visit @ datsport just to say hallo and looking for some parts and i found some very friendly people there.i had so much fun and it was absolutely interesting to talk with barry and tracy.

@tojothanks for the input. there are not many people i know who had a c30 laurel.you are approx. nr5. how many do you know who ever had one?i also want to get webers on mine.but i have no experience with them.mabe my father has.he was mechanic for about 30 years,i think he knows a lot about old engines it would be no problem to weld a custom manifold for me.its my daily business.

now back to the project!!

i thought i have finished the welding works till i ve found that:

thats what i've found under 1cm bondo!!!!

don't think about it!just cut the rusty sheet out......

and replace it!!

and don't forget the paint

at the moment i'm removing the whole undercarpaint.after that the laurel will get new undercoating and new undercarpaint.

(OMG i have to get english lessions!!and sorry about the photos i was not able to turn them on imageshack!!! )
